VOTE for Eunice Chan's photo blog



When I entered my blog for the contest, I didn't have any hopes of joining the list of finalists who would ultimately vie the title of Best Photography Blog. I'm a photographer who loves to take pictures and share them with the world. I'm a photographer who loves to take pictures so much that I am willing to do anything to get a good picture. But ironically I'm not a photographer who loves joining competitions; I love to take pictures for leisure and have people admire them without having the pressure of winning a title for myself. I am that kind of laid-back photographer, who just loves to chill in front of the computer and type away about my experiences.

To me, my blog was just a little platform to share about the little bits of life I have experienced. This year, I spent five months in Nepal, a world so vastly different from life as we know it in Singapore. Through my blog, I hope to share more about the outside world.

To my delight, I had attracted many readers outside the Singaporean audience. My photos were viewed, shared and reblogged on others' blogs. I was also asked to join a Nepal group on Flickr. Nepalese residing overseas sent me messages saying that looking at my photos make them miss home, and they even sent me advice on how to assimilate into the Nepali lifestyle! That's what I loved about my blog — the global audience — and though I did not know who my readers were, but somehow getting that feedback made me feel so warm in a foreign country.

By joining Singapore Blog Awards, my little wish was just to widen my readership. As I have shared about Nepal, I hope to in the future to share about Singapore the same way, and every other country I will visit.

If you truly do enjoy what I post on my blog, please vote for me. You may vote for me here, everyday, once per day till 3rd July.
